-another very kind offer, makes you realise that the UK isn't quite the miserable anti-social place as the papers make it out to be.
If only EVERYBODY owned campers then the Country would be a better place

Re: Touring Wales
Ah right, guess we'll have to make some formal plans-I liked the idea of being able to choose on the day.
Does anybody know when half term is? no doubt its the week we're away

Pockets...give 3 cliffs a fone and ask about just turning up without booking...there is an over flow they use but its at the back of the site so the views are fields instead of cliffs and the sea, please don't let my post above put u off ur journey...there is also another day parking bay ..again right on the beach but im buggered if i can remember the name of it..the gates get locked at night...but there is a pub opposite that may allow u to do o/n camping....gimme a few hours for me cell to kick in and the name of it will come to me

Re: Touring Wales
I was planning on going to Pembrokeshire in August and have been looking at campsites. Just out of curiosity I checked availability on one which had facility to do that online and it came up as fully booked already - crazy, how anal are you expected to be about holiday plans?

Re: Touring Wales
yeah its a worry especially as I would rather 'drift' from campsite to campsite as and when the mood takes us and having to pre-book everywhere means that we don't have that 'freedom'
I wonder if you'd have a better chance of getting a spot in a site if you don't need hook-up?

I think you're right there, I expect some sites get booked up by caravaniers who return to the same place every year. I don't really need hookup and have only had the luxury once. As you mentioned, some sites stipulate that they don't take bookings but you could probably phone them a little in advance just to check they've got spaces.
